Roundhouse Point Campgound

Free dispersed camping spreads across open grassland at this Army Corps of Engineers site, where campers park among roughly 12 designated spots marked by picnic tables and fire rings. The campground sits within the Fort Peck Recreation Area along the shoreline of Fort Peck Lake, offering direct water access for paddleboarding and launching watercraft.

Road access proves straightforward for most RVs, though one path requires higher clearance according to recent visitors. "This is a great big rig spot," notes one camper who found ample space for larger rigs to maneuver and set up. The maintained vault toilet stays clean, and a large trash receptacle handles waste disposal. Full Verizon cell service reaches the area, keeping campers connected.

Solitude defines much of the experience here. One weekend visitor reported being the only camper on a Saturday night, despite the campground's proximity to Fort Peck Dam and its interpretive center. The site functions well as a staging area for groups, with generous spacing between spots and room for multiple units. Fort Peck Marina Campground sits just minutes away for those preferring developed facilities.

This works best for self-sufficient campers comfortable with basic amenities who want lake access without hookups or fees.

Amazing!

This site was fantastic! It is a free site and we couldn't find a donation box. There are places to put in and paddle board. There are 12 official sites but SO much space! This would be a great spot for a caravan to pitstop. This is a great big rig spot. There is one path that has a high clearance. They don't have any hookups but there is a big trash can and a pit toilet.

Awesome boondock spot.

Really nice and accessible. Each of the roughly 10 sites has a picnic table and fire pit. The pit toilet is well-maintained. Stayed on a Saturday and I was the only one here.
